The Austin Peay chapter of the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is hosting the Phi Kappa
Phi Fall Forum, beginning at 7 p.m., Monday, Oct. 27 in Lecture Hall A on the first
floor of the Sundquist Science Complex.

Dr. Allene Phy-Olsen, professor of English, director of the Honors Program and the
2003 recipient of the Richard M. Hawkins Award for outstanding scholarly and creative
activities, will speak on the topic “Religion in Outer Space.”

"It's about the use of religion by science fiction writers," she explains. "Some of
them take known religions into outer space, while others make up religions for 'aliens.'"

Eric Lamp, the chapter's student vice president and a senior English major, will discuss
his study-abroad experience this past summer. His talk is titled “Peay Pride in Greece.”

There will be a brief meeting after the two presentations to discuss chapter activities
and service opportunities.
